Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:16-20

16-20 Every man is the servant of the master to whose commands he yields himself; whether it be the sinful dispositions of his heart, in actions which lead to death, or the new and spiritual obedience implanted by regeneration. The apostle rejoiced now they obeyed from the heart the gospel, into which they were delivered as into a mould. As the same metal becomes a new vessel, when melted and recast in another mould, so the believer has become a new creature. And there is great difference in... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Romans 6:21-23

21-23 The pleasure and profit of sin do not deserve to be called fruit. Sinners are but ploughing iniquity, sowing vanity, and reaping the same. Shame came into the world with sin, and is still the certain effect of it. The end of sin is death. Though the way may seem pleasant and inviting, yet it will be bitterness in the latter end. From this condemnation the believer is set at liberty, when made free from sin. If the fruit is unto holiness, if there is an active principle of true and growing... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Romans 6:1-99

Romans 6 THAT WHICH WE have thus far learned of the Gospel from this epistle has been a question of what God has declared Himself to be on our behalf, that which He has wrought for us by the death and resurrection of Christ, and which we receive in simple faith. In it all God has been having, if we may so say, His say toward us in blessing. Chapter 6 opens with the pertinent question, “What shall we say then?” This signalizes the fact that another line of thought is now about to open... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 6:1-2

Sanctification as a Fruit of Justification. Justification does not lead to indulgence of sin: v. 1. What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? v. 2. God forbid! How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein? The apostle has concluded his exposition of the doctrine of justification, bringing out, throughout the argument, that salvation is full and free. He now feels constrained to meet the most common, the most plausible, and yet the most... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 6:3-11

The power of Baptism: v. 3. Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? v. 4. Therefore we are buried with Him by Baptism into death, that, like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life. v. 5. For if we have been planted together in the likeness of His death, we shall be also in the likeness of His resurrection; v. 6. knowing this, that our old man is crucified... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 6:12-14

The reign of sin definitely closed: v. 12. Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mortal body that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. v. 13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. v. 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you; for ye are not under the Law, but under grace. This is the practical inference and deduction... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 6:15-18

The Service of Righteousness. The impelling power of this service: v. 15. What then? Shall we sin because we are not under the Law, but under grace? God forbid! v. 16. Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey, whether of sin unto death or of obedience unto righteousness? v. 17. but God be thanked that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. v. 18. Being,... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Romans 6:19-23

Servants of righteousness unto everlasting life: v. 19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh; for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity, even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. v. 20. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. v. 21. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death. v. 22. ... read more

Shall [May]1 we continue in sin, that grace may 2abound? God forbid[Let it not be!].2 How shall we, that are dead [who died]3to sin, live any longer therein?

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Romans 6:12-23

Third Section.—The principial freedom of Christians from the service of sin to death, and their actual departure there from and entrance into the service of righteousness unto life by the power of the death of Jesus. (Believers should live in the consciousness that they are dead to sin, just as even the slave is freed by death.)Romans 6:12-2312Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in13[omit it in]28 the lusts thereof.
